i've got to think there has to be a surprise candidate or two for the HC role. Irsay will pay top money, he did with Dungy and he pays his players. This hc position has to be attractive to all candidates b/c of the ability to work with a top shelf QB.

I wouldn't be surprised if the new HC is someone who isn't being spoken about right now amongst the candidates being thrown around. This has been a strange offseason for teams seeking coaches b/c many of the names being thrown around aren't top tier 'hot' candidates that usually are out there every offseason. Guys like Jerry Gray, Carmichael, etc don't really get me too excited. Carmichael has only been calling plays for a few month! LOL!

Zimmer is probably the best of the bunch; however, perhaps Irsay has someone off the radar is is going to pony up huge dollars?

Nail on the head.

When Jim says many surprises ahead, I take him at his word. It will surprise me if the Colts team does not get a complete overhaul. I doubt Jim Irsay will pay 28 million to Peyton and hope PM can play. I look for Luck to be our QB going forward. IMO, we have seen the last of the Cover 2 defensive scheme. I sure hope so. I believe our next HC will be an adherent of a more physical offensive and defensive scheme.

If so, there will be a "lot of surprises". Next season will be a season of an entire overhaul. It may not be pretty.

I dont like it '59...

.....I dont want one of those surprises to be the release of a certain country boy QB

Vincennes isn't really a cowboy place. It's just small.

By the way, if you ever do go there, make sure you stop at one the Bobes pizza places. That pizza is fantastic!

Irsay will announce on Friday that everything that has been reported in the media has been an elaborate joke. Bill & Crhis Polian are still in charge, Caldwell and all of the coaches were just given extended days off and will soon be back at the complex and Manning never had neck surgery, he just asked for a one season sabbatical so he could study yoga with an Indian mystic.

Well put. It's like the typical "smoke screen" tactics with top prospects. It would not surprise me in the least bit if Irsay had an ace up his sleeve; afterall, there are multiple teams in need of a HC, so why jeopardize our own search broadcasting who we are interested in?

This comment by Irsay has me a bit worried, "Let's go Indy,chop wood n carry water..this is r time to shine!" Now he could be talking about the folks of Indy getting ready to host the SB. But we all know there is a former HC, who is available who is known for chopping the wood.

CD..

You may have hit it.

he could just be talking about the Super Bowl build up...

..and here we are jumping to conclusions..

I'm drawing a blank, who you referring to?

Jim Irsay sounds really excited if he thinks the fans will be pumped for this hiring as well, so our next head coach will probably be...

a.) Peyton Manning

b.) Bill Belichick

c.) Blue, the mascot

d.) One of our cheerleaders (it's all about personality, right!?!)

e.) Mike Ditka

Blue would make the best Coach ever. He has my vote. lmao

      Who leads the NFL in tackles?

      Our D Lineman and our LB's are getting blasted and pushed out of the way. This is why teams are running all over us

      I've liked Nick Cross since before he was drafted.  I thought folks here have been impatient and quick, go figure.

      I remember Donnell Thompson. He was a Tar Heel star player which was elite but he played on a bad team. No offense and defense, and no coaching and supporting players. Those were the days that it was difficult to be a Colt.

      You really have to wonder how many times we let teams run all over us before Ballard stops loving Bradley

      What we've seen so far isn't so surprising. Nick Cross was rated as the Colts #1 run defender last season with an 81.2 grade. It was his pass coverage that wasn't so good at 63.2.    Run Defense - 2023 S Nick Cross 81.2 DE Samson Ebukam 80.0 LB E.J. Speed 78.8 DE Kwity Paye 78.1 DT Grover Stewart 77.3 CB Kenny Moore II 71.5 LB Zaire Franklin 66.1 S Ronnie Harrison Jr. 64.1 DT DeForest Buckner 63.8 DE Tyquan Lewis 61.9 S Julian Blackmon 59.2 CB Julius Brents 58.8 CB Jaylon Jones 57.1 DE Jacob Martin 49.7 DE Dayo Odeyingbo 49.1 S Rodney Thomas II 48.1 CB Dallis Flowers 45.0 DT Taven Bryan 43.7 CB Darrell Baker Jr. 43.6 DT Eric Johnson II 29.3 DT Adetomiwa Adebawore 24.1   Coverage Grade - 2023 CB Kenny Moore II 79.3 S Julian Blackmon 72.6 CB Dallis Flowers 70.6 LB Segun Olubi 66.9 CB Julius Brents 64.5 S Nick Cross 63.2 S Ronnie Harrison Jr. 61.9 S Rodney Thomas II 60.1 CB Chris Lammons 59.0 CB Jaylon Jones 57.3 LB Zaire Franklin 56.4 LB E.J.
